Mr.. r. d. Clark, the celebrated Ne
vada metallurgist, arrived in Deadwood
few days since. Referring to the OBJ
ject of his visit to the Hills the Republi-
Gays:
"Mr. Clark has been sent for to visit
different mining camps in the Hills and
report on them as to the quality and
quantity of the ores which might be OBJ
tained, and to give his opinion as to
whether smeltery would be the proper
thing to erect in Deadwood, or whether
or not some other method of treating
the ores would not be better and cheap
er. Leaching has been suggested as one
way Of securing a good profit on the
ores treated. Mr.. Clark has made a
great success in Nevada of what is
known as the Russell method. At the
school Of mines in this city the refracto-
ry ores of Ruby Bassin have been suc-
ccssfully reduced the question being
worked out by Prof F. N. Carpenter.
Anything looking to the development
of the mining interests of the Hills,
regardless of whether the properties are
located in Lawrence, Pennington or
Custer counties, will be thankfully re-
ceived by the people at large, whether
old-timers or with pedal extremities as
tender as soft-boiled egg. 1t is an as
sured fact that Mr.. Clark will meet
with the hearty cooperation Of mine
owners and others on his trip to the
Hills. and it is hoped that his visit will
! be pronounced success"

Gently visited the Hot Springs, in a
letter to the Chadron Democrat, ex-
presses the following erroneous opinion
relative to the medicinal qualities Of the
water:
"As for it's medicinal virtues / think
it very questionable. Patients are bene-
flied by change of scenery, society aud a
great many other influences all Of which
tend to amelorate their condition. If
they would stay at hame take warm
baths wash off the dirt and attend as
strictly to common sense HYGIENE, they
would get just as we'll and save good
many dollars which is paid out to first
water diamond humbug"
In the face Of the many marvellous
cures that have been effected through
the medium of these waters, which
cures, by reason of their surprising and
wonderful character have gained wide
publicity We can only conclude that G..
A. J. is guilty Of willful misrepresenta-
ton. We believe that this is the first
instance which has come to our notice
of any person, publicly or privately, ex-
pressing a doubt as to the general merits
of Hot Springs water. Hitherto the
efficacy of this water in the cure Of such
diseases as are there treated, has been
undisputed, and it remained for G. A. j.
to first publish dissenting opinion. 1t
is not claimed that all diseases may be
successfully treated at these springs,
and it is to be regretted that among
other maladies beyond the reach of
their curative powers, we might men,
ton that abnormal condition of the
human mind which engenders a mania
for misrepresentation. Had these
waters the power to reach such cases,
we would not have been called upon to
defend their reputation in the present
instance.

Whites Commission Revoked,

A report of the revocation Of Thomas
Whites commission as deputy U. S.
mineral surveyor reached this office too
late for publication in our las. issue.
The revocation is the result Of certain
petitions signed by a majority OF the
leading business men and miners of the
Black Hills, asking for his removal on
the grounds of his using his official
position to aid him in misrepresenting
and falsifying the mining interests Of
the Hills. Referring to this matter the
Rapid Journal Of the 5th inst. says:
"The revocation of the commission of
Thomas II. White as United States de-
putty mineral surveyor is a just rebuke
for unwarranted interference and
meddlesomeness. The action Of White
IN attempting to hurt the tin interests
of Pennington and Custer counties,
using, in order to give greater weight to
his assertions, bis title rs man duly
authorized to make surveys for patents
upon United States mineral lands, and
in the same letter claiming Cornwall as
his home, was prompted by desire to
prevent the introduction of capital in
the development of what every other
mineral surveyor and miner in the
Black Hills believes to be one of the
country's chief resources. That he
struck blindly, without regard for the
truth has been abundantly shown. The
order revoking his commission is made
in response to the prayer of petition
of the best people of the Hills, without
regard TO locality, setting forth the
grounds upon which it was based, and
that these grounds were considered by
the surveyor general OF the territory to
have been sufficient is made clear.
Possibly Mr.. White may profit by the
lesson"

Don't Mention It.

While it is lamentable fact, already
too widely known, that the affairs of
Lawrence county were extravagantly
and outrageously managed in the early
days Of its existence, would it not be well
for the press of the county to make as
little reference to these matters in the
future as possible? If the Advertiser
has been correctly enlightened on this
has followed until all the irregularities
have been properly located, and there
it has ended. The same may be said of
many Black Hills mining speculations
that redounded to the discredit of the
principals as well as the country. But
why keep bowling continuously about
these dead issues? if a stranger drops
into our midst and stops few weeks,
we will naturally enough arrive at the
conclusion that we are band of thieves,
if he allows himself to be led astray by
reading the newspapers Of the Black
Hills that almost daily refer to the
frauds that were perpetrated in the
country years ago. Brethren Of the
press, is it not about time to drop these
worn out issues, many Of which are
mouldering in the tomb with the bones
OF some OF the men who were charged
with the crimes ?-Sturgis Advertiser.
The CHRONICLE does not concur in the
view taken by the Advertiser. We hold
that the issues referred to are not dead.
and should be kept green in our me-
mories by being frequently referred to
as baleful examples of the past to be
evaded in the future. Let them rather
be remembered as expensive lessons in
county management, and mining policy,
than be consigned to hopeless oblivion
Let them remain as monuments upon
the scene of former frauds, as a warning
against their future repetition, and in
any event while the dsrepu:able par.
ties to these frauds are aboye ground
let them occasionally be reminded OF
the ruin they have wrought.

The territorial board of health closed
its labors in the Black Hills and de-
parted for the east on Sunday, after
having visited Rapid City, Deadwood
and Lead City. and pretty thoroughly
rounded up" the practitioners of the
entire Hills. They report the finding
Of exceptionally high qualifications and
condition Of the profession in the Hills.
No individual, Of any school, was re-
fused license from lack Of character
and educational qualifications. The
rules Of the board and the head statutes
of the territory award territorial
license to any practitioner who has a
diploma from reputable medical
school; or who, having had one and
lost it, can prove the fact; or, who has
practiccd medicine in the territory ten
years. Persons not thus qualified have
to pass examination by the board.
They made eight such examinations in
the Black Hills and granted licenses to
all who appeared before them. There
may be irregular and unlicensed prac-
titioners in the Hills yet and all ca such
if any there be, are guilty Of misde-
meanor if they practice for pay. 1t
will become the duty of grand juries to
look after such delinquents vigorously.
After the board Of health has taken the
pains to travel a thousand miles to give
all who desire to practice a chance to
easily qualify to legally do so, illegal
practice must ::be held sprima facie
evidence of incompetency and fraud
upon public health. But the officers of
law need the aid of the medical pro-
fession in enforcing the law. Individual
physicians are always 10th to do this,
lest their motives be misconstrued, and
there is really no authority competent
to make the statute the protection to
the public that it was designed to be,
except local medical societies. The ter
ritorial board, before departure, urged
that every county in the Black Hills
have medical society and that the
committees on legislation of such socie-
ties interest themselves, on behalf Of
the entire profession and the people
alike, in the work of suppressing illegal
practice.-Rapid Journal.

THE KAUAI EXCURSION.

The Kauai excursion party, by
the Mikahala last week, had a pleas
ant time. Reaching Nawiliwili, the
party was joined by Mr.. Paul Isen-
berg, Rev. Hans Isenberg and wife,
and Mr.. L. Muller. The Mikahala
proceeded from Nawiliwii to Wal
mea, making the distance, about 20
miles, in Z hours. The steamer
sailed close to the pals OF Halalau,
giving the excursionists splendid
views of the fine scenery. The sea
was exceptionally smooth and sea-
sickness was not thought of. When
the Mikahala passed the Waialeale
as reported, the passengers were at
dinner and not sick abed as thought.
From Waimea to Nawiliwili the
steamer called at all her regular
ports. The passengers went ashore
at nearly all landings, and took in
all that was to be seen. The eX-
cursionists returned to Honolulu
Yesterday, thoroughly pleased with
the trip.

REPUBLICANS ORGANIZING

New York, July 25.-The "'Tri-
bune" says that the favorable res
ponses called out by the proposal of
the Republican Club of this city
that convention of such be held
here to organize National Republi-
can league give promise that the
plan will be carried to a successful
issue. The idea of the originators
is a movement not to consider or in
dorse candidates, but to discuss the
subject of organizing Republican
clubs and the best method of carry
ing on the work. One matter that
will receive thorough consideration
is how to interest young men in
politics. Over one hundred of the
replies which have been received to
the circular sent out come from New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, Kansas, Washington
Territory and Maryland.
No changes have been ordered in
the positions of the United States

A SUGGESTION.

EDITOR BULLETN:-The new cleo
ton laws not yet being ratified by
the Legislature, il may not be amiss
to offer some suggestions for modi-
fcation of the same. There is one
feature of the elections in one little
country in Europe, Norway, which
it has the honor of possessing in adj
vance of all other nations; viz. {:
In electing members for the Legis-
lature, two candidates are always
elected, the one with the largest
vote to sit as representative, and the
next largest to be his deputy, to
take his place in case of demise,
illness, or other circumstances pre-
venting the representative from re-
tanning his seat for the balance of
the term. 1t will be readily per-
ceived that this proceeding facili-
tates matters a great deal, by hay
ing a man ready to take a vacant
seat Immediately, instead of going
10 the great trouble, expense and
loss of time to the country caused
by having a new election of repre-
sentative. This is for the considera-
ton of our honorable prospective
Legislators ~.

HlL0 NOTES.

A mixed mass meeting, held
Thursday afternoon, August 18th,
for the purpose of discussing nomi-
nees for Mobiles from Hawaii and
Representatives from HiIo, resulted
in much talk and nothing definite
on the whole, as majority of the
names proposed (mainly through
the influence of Bill White, man
of the Poepoe stamp were of per-
sons disqualified or unable to run
under the new Constitution.
a meeting Of the foreign citizens,
Wednesday evening, August 10th,
was more satisfactory in results, as
a reasonably solid ticket was form
ed. Considerable uncertainty still
exists, however, about the Repre-
sentative ticket.
The outlook indicates high pres
sure in the political gague here in

The WILD SWAN.

II. B. NJ. S. Wild Swan entered
Honolulu harbor this morning, after
an uneventful passage of six weeks
from Coquimbo.
While at Coquimbo the gunner,
David Stewart, and two of the crew
were injured by premature ex-
plosion of torpedo, during prac-
tice. An arm of the gunner was
blown off, and he was otherwise in
jured. The other two men were
severely bruised, but lost no limbs.
The gunner was left at Coquimbo in
the hospital ship, while the others
are yet on the Wild Swan.
During the passage here under
sail all the way, with very light
winds, only whale and turtle
were seen.
The Wild Swan is an eight-gun
boat, 2 six-inch and five-inch
breech-loading guns. She also
carries 2 Nordenfeldt and 2 Gardi-
ner machine guns. The vessel was
commissioned Jan. %, 1885. She is
1875 feet over all, 32 feet beam and
III feet draft. She is / ,l30 tons
burden and has engines of 1000
horsepower. Her full speed is
about II knots per hour.
The Wild Swan will remain here
about two weeks, when she will sail for
Esquimault, B. &. Following is a
list of her officers:
Communication S. Halifax.
Lieutenants-Oliv A. Stokes,
Alfred e. lizard, Chas. w. Sutton.
Navigating Lieutenant-Evelyn
